ATI HD 3800 Review Thread

[Lugburz]

Has anyone tried using a Zalman VF1000 with the 3870? Im worried it might not have enough clearance to keep the stock pwm heatsink in place.

Nop, but DuOrb seems to be nice for these cards

BTW: nice avatar!!! Great album

Does anyone got his 3850 512 shipped with the new bios (allowing >862MHz for core)?

If yes, any oc results?

Setup:


Crossfire-X:



SLI vs Crossfire:


Crossfire wins.


Cunsuption in SLI system vs crossfire system:

A crossfire HD 3870 system spends same as a 680i + single 8800GT.

^^Interesting indeed.

Finally a review with 2 different mbs. The results make it pretty obvious why all reviews should use this method (if they can).
This also puts into prospective the cost factor of 2 3870 vs 2 GT and the performance associated with them.
